The student pilot was returning from a solo cross-country flight and had just completed a crosscheck of the instruments when the engine started to "sputter" and lose power. Although he began performing the emergency checklist for a loss of engine power, he could not recall if he completed all of the items on the checklist. The student subsequently performed a forced landing to a nearby field, which resulted in substantial damage to the airplane's fuselage and both wings. During the postaccident examination of the airplane, which included a successful engine test run, no anomalies were noted that would have precluded normal operation. Weather conditions at the time of the accident were conducive to serious carburetor icing at cruise power. Since postaccident examination of the engine revealed no anomalies, it is likely that the loss of power was a result of carburetor ice accumulation. Had the student performed all items on the emergency checklist, he may have been able to restore engine power after application of carburetor heat.
Probable Cause: The total loss of engine power due to carburetor ice.
